Lifetime Guarantee Program

What is Trine’s Lifetime Guarantee?
The Lifetime Guarantee isn’t just a scholarship — it’s a four-part promise that answers the biggest questions students and families ask:
Will college be affordable year after year?
Trine University provides full-time undergraduate students on its Angola campus with a scholarship that grows with you.
- Complete at least 32 credits in your first year with a minimum GPA of 2.75, and your merit award will increase by $500.
- Complete at least 64 credits by the end of your second year with a minimum GPA of 3.00, and your merit award will increase by another $500.
- Complete at least 96 credits by the end of your third year with a minimum GPA of 3.25, and — you guessed it — your merit award will increase by another $500.
What if something unexpected happens at home?
Trine University’s Office of Financial Aid will review the financial aid eligibility of any student whose family has experienced a significant impact to their finances. To see what circumstances apply, check out the Special Conditions Appeal Form.
Will I get a job?
All services offered by Trine University’s Office of Career Services are available to any full-time student or graduate of Trine University.
Is this education valuable long-term?
As a graduate of Trine University's Angola campus, you are welcome to return at any time to enroll in seated undergraduate courses on the Angola campus — at no cost* and for no credit. You’ll participate in course discussions, lectures, special presentations and classroom conversations.
*Cost of materials, books, travel, fees, etc. will be the responsibility of the individual student. Course enrollment is on a space-available basis.
